April 06, 2016 00:18
Retired IPS officer Prakash Singh, heading a committee set up by Haryana government to inquire into the acts of "omission and commission" on the part of civil and police officers during the Jat quota agitation, has said lapses have been there which resulted in "large scale violence".
"Violence took place on large scale, so naturally lapses have been there. We are trying to pin-point to what extent the officials were negligent," Singh told reporters.
"We will soon complete the report," Singh said, adding after the report is fine-tuned, it will be submitted to the government.
It was up to the government to take action against those officials who were found erring in performing their duties, he said.
Replying to a question, Singh, who undertook a visit to the eight districts including the worst-hit areas of Rohtak, Jhajjar and Sonipat, said the committee received complaints like delay in arrival of fire brigades or the Deputy
Commissioner of the district concerned not helping out the locals.
